The Wrong Kind Of Record

In 2006 Reggie Bush was
selected #2 overall by the New Orleans Saints and in his first season he wasn’t
stupendous but he did put up over 1,300 total yards. He never showed the talent
that was expected of him coming out of USC but he did put up three decent
seasons in 2011-2013 when he was topping 1,200 total yards each season but
after 10 seasons in the NFL it is time for him to retire, especially after the
record he set this season.

For the first time a
running back with 10 or more rushes finished the season with negative yards. He
had 12 rushes for -3 yards. His longest rush of the season was 5 yards and he
had one rushing touchdown. Will Bush's negative rushing go down in NFL history like Mario Mendoza has done for baseball?

Oh man... that's a shame. With the Bills' playoff hopes gone, he should have offered the interim coach a car or something to give him the ball on Sunday so he could avoid this record. On the other hand, I paid top dollar for a Mendoza autograph. Maybe there are foolish collectors like myself who will drive up the price on Bush signatures.

About Me

I started collecting as a kid but by the time I hit my teens my interests were elsewhere. I returned to the hobby in 1992, just in time to see the junk wax era go in to full swing. My collecting interests have changed over the past 25 years and I prefer to focus on just a couple of players.

My collection is very specific now because I want to keep it controlled and organized, I now focus mainly on my Ken Griffey Jr. & Jay Buhner collections.
